12-Step Program for Addiction Rehab
Live Free Recovery in New Hampshire integrates the 12-Step approach into every stage of treatment, combining it with evidence-based therapy and medical support. This balanced model helps individuals address substance use disorders, strengthen recovery skills, and build a sustainable, substance-free life.
What Is the 12-Step Approach?
The 12 Steps started with Alcoholics Anonymous in the 1930s. Since then, it’s helped millions of people find lasting sobriety. It’s a peer support system that uses spiritual principles and community to help people stop using long-term.
Today, the program walks you through admitting you can’t control your addiction alone, asking for help, and making things right with the people you’ve hurt. It allows you to go to meetings, work with a sponsor, and practice healthy habits that remedy the thinking patterns that often lead to substance use.
Why Choose Live Free Recovery for 12-Step Treatment

FAQs About the 12-Step Program
What are the 12 Steps of recovery?
The 12 Steps walk you through accepting your substance use problem, getting help, examining your behavior, fixing what you broke, and supporting others in recovery.
Do I have to be religious to work the 12 Steps?
No. Your higher power can be anything. This may be traditional religion, nature, the universe, or the group itself.
How long does it take to work through the 12 Steps?
Some people finish in months, others take years. What matters most is remaining honest and accountable throughout your journey with this approach.
Is the 12-Step program effective for drug addiction?
Yes. The steps work for any addiction because they address the thinking and behaviors that keep you using, not just the substance.
Can I do the 12 Steps while taking medication for addiction?
Absolutely. Many people use medication for cravings while working the steps for emotional and spiritual health. Our team can help with medication management while you’re in treatment.
What happens at a 12-Step meeting?
People share their stories and struggles, sometimes around a specific topic. You don’t have to talk, though, if you’re not comfortable. It’s okay; it can take time. Just attending group meetings is a useful action as it encourages a sense of community.
